[Results] Prelims 2020 Over - Gearing for 2021
Because of the corona virus issue? If it does not happen then worst affected will be people whose interview is stuck, around 600-700 such people I think are yet to appear for their interview.
@neyawn sir and others, what is your take?

plmokn25688524,also the minister repeatedly focused on saying they will give time for travelling....maybe he was saying about train journey perhaps?....ticket confirmation takes time thats why maybe.... thereforeatleastthey would give the dates 20 days b4 the actual prelims.
The Minister also said that those who study ( jo parhne likhne wale vidhyarthi hain ) they will need time to prepare. So the govt has that as well at the back of their minds.

Now that UPSC is taking a view on Prelims on 20th May, here is what I think.
The opinion is entirely mine. It has no linkage with official decision making.
On 17th of May, if the situation is better, which means the plateau phase has begun in the curve, the government will surely think of more relaxations.
For UPSC, the priority is in this order: Final result of 2019 process>Prelims 2020. CSE is the Ace in the pack of cards that UPSC held exams are. Accordingly, it gets highest priority. So, if everything is up and running, around 3- 4 weeks time will likely be given for the Prelims. Which means at the earliest, get ready for exams around 21st or 28th June. The reason why UPSC has perhaps not given a date in August or any other month is that it wants to be open to the possibility of holding it before that. I also feel that UPSC might request the Political executive to refrain from making any commitments regarding further delays.
In the earliest possible scenario, UPSC must give 3-4 weeks for all stakeholders to get their act together. That is why I am saying 21st or 28th June at the earliest.
How late can it happen?
That depends on GoI lockdown pattern as the UPSC has shown that it will like to follow GoI schedules and not opt for its own assessment of the Covid Situation.
Until 20th May, I would suggest, continue with Prelims prep. After that, do as per UPSC schedule.
PS: THIS IS MY PERSONAL OPINION AND DOESN'T REFLECT THE OFFICIAL STANCE OF ANY GOVERNMENT OR UPSC. USE OWN DISCRETION IN DECODING THE CURRENT SITUATION.
In the press release it is written "
situation will be reviewed again on May 20, 2020 and fresh dates for these examinations shall be notified on the UPSC websitein due course. "
No date is given for the declaration of future exam dates. It is not given that new dates will be given on 20th.
